Posts: 5 		Hi There,

Let me start by saying i've barely looked into this yet besides hunting through the website, the idea of using this software has only been brought to my attention in the last hour...

First question: Can this software be deployed silently? We use SCCM and from what I'm told we'd be looking to use it in one IT suite of 32 PCs. Any install flags that can do all the fancy business as part of a package?

Second question: system requirements.... Will this run ok on the following specification: Intel Pentium G3460, 4GB ram, 120GB SSD, Onboard Intel HD Graphics (haswell generation)

I doubt they'll be doing anything advanced as this is intended for a student parent evening interaction classes.

Thanks

You can run the installer with a -s option, though I think your mileage may vary as it runs a few third party installers that do require some interaction, specifically .Net 4.5 and DirectX.


And yes, it should run on those machines. The processor's OK, but the graphics card's not amazing - as integrated graphics tend not to be, but it is DX11 compliant - the performance might not be brilliant. If you're just doing simple things on it, it will probably be okay.


The simplest thing to do is install it and see how it runs. If you've got an account, you should be able to download it to try it out.

That's excellent, glad it'll work with a -s switch, all the 3rd party requirements can be done silently and setup as package requirements so i'll give that a go soon, i'll be sure to return with any questions if i hit any issues.

I imagine the requirements will be very basic, i think the classes they're running on it are purely for parents and students to spend time together in a classroom one evening a week working on a project together...i don't imagine we'll see anything spectacular come out of it, but a really nice idea to get parents involved with their childrens education in a more engaging way

Posts: 5 		Trying to deploy this now, i can't work out what version of the Visual C++ runtime it uses? Any ideas?

I think i'll need to deploy the directx runtime and c++ runtimes as prerequisites separately in order for this to work, just putting -s on it didn't seem to work unfortunately. .Net is a standard component of our install and that's kept up to date so that shouldn't be an issue luckily.

I don't know which version they're using but there is some information and download links on the wiki: http://www.muvizu.com/Wiki/wiki/53/troubleshooting-drivers-and-other-system-software

Posts: 5 		Thank you

After fiddling around i discovered that it's DirectX June 2010 runtimes and Visual C++ 2010 64bit that are coupled with the software (64bit client) ... but handy to have all the download links on one page! (Wish i'd waited for a reply rather than faffing about myself now though haha)

Attempting to deploy again now so i'll see how that goes.

I've even tried -silent -q -quiet etc. all the usual suspects, even /? or -? /help -help don't bring up anything, it just goes straight into the GUI installer.

Any suggestions?
